The correct answer is D. are K-selected

Explanation:

In biology, the term k-selected is used to describe species in which there is high parental investment, but a low quantity of offspring. This implies in these species organisms have less offspring but invest in each new organism to guarantee survival. This reproductive strategy is the opposite of r-selected in which there is a high rate of offspring but little parental investment, this causes some individuals to survive while others die.

In the case of primates, they are k-selected because most of the species in primates including apes, gorillas, and humans have only one or two offspring each time, also, the parental investment is higher as offspring stays with parents for a longer time; at the same time, this keeps the population stable as higher parental investment guarantees most offspring survives. Thus, the primates' reproductive strategies are K-selected.

When cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another, what takes place during photosynthesis?
Oxana [17]

During photosynthesis, solar/light energy from the sun is transformed into C6H12O6, or glucose (chemical energy). Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods (glucose) from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen (O2) and glucose.

Diffusion continues until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is
Nataliya [291]

I don't completely understand the question, but I am guessing that you are trying to finish the sentence. If so, the answer is "Diffusion continues until the concentration on both sides of the membrane is <u>equal</u>". The reason it's equal is because diffusion always travels high to low, to reach a point of equilibrium. The particles are trying to move so that water is the same inside and outside of the cell/membrane, and the solute is also equal on the inside and outside of the cell/membrane. If that doesn't make sense, just comment any questions you have and I will try my best to answer :)
